When they went to bed that night, no one would have believed   That in the morning, light would not be there   The dark hung heavy on the air of the grip of a jealous man   No place was there known to have been spared   Then panic took control of minds as fear hit everyone   The day the light went out of the daytime sky      Artificial light could hardly penetrate the gloom   Nothing out of reach could be observed   Looting, pillage, murder, rape became the rule of that day   Who hit him, no one knew or whom he hit   Cars were caught in pileups and the planes could never land   The day the light went out of the daytime sky      Now I can rest here after my journey   Now I can feed here before I continue      Some there were whose heads were clear, who sought, tried to find   The nature of this deadly foe, the dark   It seemed the sun was still somewhere though hidden from their sight   By something, though amorphous yet alive   And so they looked for ways to rid themselves of the parasite   The day the light went out of the daytime sky      Now I can rest here after my journey   Now I can feed here before I continue      They tried in many fruitless ways to see the noonday sun   By blasting with their missiles through the dark   But soon a kind of sleepy state came over everyone   Till nothing seemed to stir or even breathe   And when the darkness chose to disappear not many had survived   Then came a shadow, another had arrived   And again the light went out of the daytime sky
